My neighbor has Wild Blue... He had to upgrade it to the fastest  
service and he stated it was still too slow.. Think he is into  
stocks.   He can't wait until December when his contract runs  
out ...   We have a local 900Mh system in this county that is running  
3000 kbps for about $40 a month..  It is working well in this area.    
You may shop around for a local wireless provider.  They are popping  
up all over.
